Sabbath was designed for Delight, not Duty. Do you Rest from Work, or do you rest in Work? The Israelites had two responses to Sabbath o Disregarding Rest

§ If you Disregard Rest you’re Heading for Destruction

o Legalized Rest

§ Mark 2: 28 - 3:6

§ If you legalize rest, you’ll miss the one who provides it. Sabbath Rest is not FROM ceasing to do Work, but it is found IN the Work of Christ.
